I haven’t ever met a man with more experience predominantly due to and undiagnosed condition of ADHD. Life has been a massive struggle and I overcame all the obstacles in my plight for respect and equality. Diversity has been a necessity particularly as my physical strength depleted naturally with age and I had to dig deep tapping into a mental state which had previously failed me academically. Following a life changing road traffic accident in 2007 I was left with little choice as the business i’d created and the projects I was heading and financing were all but finished consequently slowly lost everything I’d worked relentlessly only to find myself financially ruined.
I didn’t give in I went to school for the first time(willingly) I spent one year at college to pursue a qualification for access to higher education which I managed to achieve. I spent a further three years at university and wouldn’t allow it to defeat me; eventually I achieved less than I aimed for but for a man of my age with zero previous academic experience i achieved a diploma of higher education in philosophy/psychology and although my grades don’t reflect my achievements I’m completely confident that I left my younger peers in my wake.
please contact me for further information and enlightenment.
